So what's going on? Why the radio silence? Where have you been for the last few weeks?!

Well, for starters I buried my head in the sand. The last update didn't exactly go swimmingly. It seemed like every time I checked - TFGames, F95Zone, Itch - there'd be a brand new bug report, detailing how this thing or that thing didnt' work. And this was after I'd released the last Hotfix. Maybe I'm exaggerating - it's entirely possible it was only a couple posts, but that was literally all I could see or focus on. Just negative feedback about how x or y or z didn't work. I felt o...

Quick Update!

I've just changed the public build - links on the About page here, and also on TFGames, F95zone, and also the play online version, to the 0.5.6 Hotfix. Hopefully this'll make things a little less frustrating, although I CAN'T WAIT to update the game more, to iron out the main issues, although as discussed in previous posts, this will be a much bigger deal, as I'll need to totally rework the player data.

Half of me is thinking of pushing ahead right now with that (i.e. starting on 0.6 n...

0.5.6 Hotfix

Okay, here's the folder with all the downloadable versions of the 0.5.6 Hotfix - I've had to park the improved save game system for now, as there's some issues with the way the older files were named that's making it really hard to order them in a sequence from oldest to newest.

The code I've written is definitely better and will work much more robustly, but I'm planning to introduce it in 0.6 - which is when all the player data is getting an overhaul too, so it makes sense to...

Still working on the Hotfix!

So this is taking a little longer than expected - mainly due to the reworked save game system (which is almost there, just a few things to iron out, and will hopefully be a much better improvement once it's all up and running correctly).

I also have one final other bug still to fix - the weird inventory behaviour that happens in the Heather storyline, after you've retrieved her phone (or not) and she gives you the outfit to wear.

But here's the things I have don...

0.5.6 Debrief and Hotfix (coming soon!)

Well, that was a little rockier than I was expecting! I've had quite a few bug reports now that a lot of folk have played the game and some are relatlvely easy to fix (a few event markers I forgot to unset) and some are a little knottier.

I've already made a master list - compiled from the threads on TFGames and 2024-07-12 22:29:13 +0000 UTC View Post

Welcome - and password!

Hi hi! Welcome aboard all new players! It's always so lovely to see some new members start to trickle in once an update goes live, so thank you all so much for joining and I'm excited to have you here.

I've also seen THREE messages now on the public post about the cheat password, which is weird because I swear it's in the welcome note you should have received when joining. Anyway, for those that don't have it, or can't be bothered to check back through their inbox, the cheat password i...

Girl Games 0.5.6 - Public Build! - Links and Changelog

Here it is (finally!). There's a bunch of new stuff - and for the first time there's basically a soft ending too, for both the Heather and Jennifer routes. I'll be putting work on the next few builds into adding QOL features and fleshing out the game world with additional content and events in weeks 1-4, now that the main storylines are kind of complete (at least for now!).

Walkthrough!

I thought it was high time Girl Games had a walkthrough page, which I can link to and update, so here it is! Obviously contains spoilers, but if you're stuck or want to scan through to see if there's something you might have missed, here it is ...

Prologue

Leave your room to start the first encounter with Amy.

Head over to the Lecture Theater for your orientation.

Then head back to your room to meet your roomie, Kevin.

After that,...

It's DONE!

This is just a super quick update to let you all know that 0.5.6 is done and I'm in the process of exporting/uploading it now. I've fixed a few major bugs that should make future playthroughs work if you were running into any of the errors detailed in the posts below, and hopefully the phonecall answering stuff should all go a little smoother from now on too!

I've also added some polish here and there, including a tiny little quality of life feature where now, when you open the load gam...

Update: Bug hunting in progress ...

Okay, so the release has kind of stalled while I try to fix a really serious error which a few players are reporting. Namely that there's a few times when the story literally doesn't progress - such as in Chapter 5 where you are supposed to meet Heather downtown to retrieve her stolen phone from Jennifer's apartment. There might be other times too, but that one has been reported in particular. I know it's kind of a pain, but if anyone is running into an error like that - where they're followi...

0.5.6 incoming ...

I've had no reports back that there was anything buggy or weird with the test build, so save from a few final little tweaks and additions, it seems like it's pretty much ready to go! Do let me know - either in a comment or a DM - if you've played the test build and encountered something strange or whatever. But I'm hoping to get the public release out either later tonight or early tomorrow am (GMT)! Will make a full post about it then, including whatever little extras I've added and what's le...

0.5.6 Devlog - Improving your grade ...

So here's the thing. The last few weeks, I've been telling myself that I wouldn't post anything until I had the final finished/polished version of EVERYTHING ready to share with you. But even though I've been putting in as much time as I can on it, working nearly every morning from 6-9am, it's still got a little ways to go, and now I'm just stressing about not keeping you guys updated in the meantime, so i figured it was time for another little show and tell. As always, apologies on ...

0.5.6 - Test Build #2 (Jennifer Route)

Well, this isn't quite what I hoped to be sharing with you by the end of the month, but you know what they say about best-laid plans, right? Basically this month has been kinda rough for me on a personal level, including a whole week spent in hospital as a family member went in unexpectedly, plus way more work work than I was anticipating too. I hate to even write this, as it just smacks of excuses, but I figured it's better to be transparent and share where I am and what's ...

0.5.6 Devlog & 0.6 Document!

This is gonna be a short update in terms of 0.5.6. Simply know that i'm still ploughing on when I can grab the time, and I'm determined to get this out before the end of this month, both as a test build and a public build.

I've already mentioned before (numerous times, I'm sure!), but I've been thinking too about 0.6 - how I want to improve the game, how I can speed up development for me and make things all the more fun and juicy for you. This whole process (I'm talking from ri...

0.5.6 Devlog - Branching Paths ...

I said that the Girl Games finale was knotty, right? I've been writing all the variants, and depending on a) which Mistress you choose, b) whether you did or didn't succeed in whichever 'phone task', and c) whether or not you practiced your dancing enough, that's ended up with eight different variations on the scene! I'm almost done with the Heather route - so hoping to get that out as a test build for you all (well, all of you on the $3 or higher tiers that is!) before the mont...

0.5.6 Devlog - Chipping away ...

Hello again, thought it was time to give you a little update, although it's honestly not the most exciting. Basically I've been chipping away at this every chance I get, although I've been super busy at (actual) work too, so that's not been as much as I'd like. I'm still hoping to get something out to you before the month's end - although I don't want to make any promises about exactly what that will be just yet!

But I got a lot of work done this weekend, and I have all of nex...

0.5.6 Devlog - Let the games begin ...

So we're finally at the girl games event! I'm currently working on the Heather version of the timeline, a lot of which was written for version 0.4, although it needs some tweaks and rewrites here and there, plus a whole new set of logic for handling the various checks, etc, behind the scenes.

I honestly can't wait to get this update done and dusted. As I've no doubt said a number of times, I'...

0.5.6 Devlog - What else!

So I'm starting work on 0.5.6 and obviously the main thing is the "Girl Games" event itself. I also want to (hopefully) include a further hookup with certain MCs after the event, depending on how you do.

Side note: as soon as 0.5.6 is done and the main core story up to that point is finished, the very first thing I'm going to do is rework the player data structure. A lot of issues in my last couple of builds have been down to this and it will also mean I can make the game more ...

Welcome!

Hey there! i just wanted to write a short thank you and welcome to everyone who's joined recently - so glad to have you aboard! I've had some wonderful feedback and a few super-useful bug reports too, so I'll be working through all that as I get on with the 0.5.6 update - which will cover the Girl Games, as well as adding in some extra content too, and keep you all posted as I go with devlogs between now and the first test build. 

I'd also like to thank everyone who's filled out th...

Girl Games 0.5.5 - Public Build! - Links and Changelog

0.5.5 Devlog - Inching closer ...

The update is basically done, but I'm just going through it trying to weed out any final bugs and strange behaviours and anything I missed or could polish. I'm not fooling myself, there'll no doubt still be a ton of stuff that slips through the cracks - just now I realized there was still a whole inventory call missing, where Heather gives you the remaining parts of your outfit, in advance of the games, after you help her retrieve her phone, which i'd pencilled in to do later then fo...

Art Update

Peitho here~

The Jennifer character pack is all finished up now. Can't wait to see her in the game!

Up next I'll be starting on the secretary and finishing up a few Amy poses. Stay tuned!

Speed Drawing

Peitho here~

I wanted to pop in and share one of my process videos. Heather was probably the most fun to design so far and you can tell in the video I was a little eager to start coloring her before I even finished the linework lol

Now that the Valentine's special is finished, I've been back to crunching on Jennifer's character pack and I should have all of her done by the end of the month.

I have a few more speed videos of Jennifer and Amy...Who do you want to see next?? 2024-02-25 10:02:27 +0000 UTC View Post

Devlog 0.5.5 - Crunch Update 2

So ... yeah. I'm still not done, and the main things that have been crunching have been my braincells as I've tried to puzzle out a bunch of knotty, tangled threads and variables and whatnot as I get Jennifer's scene done. 

I also realised I did it again: made a promise re: when this was gonna be ready for, which I then preceeded to break! I'm lapsing into old habits. It'll be done soon, i hope, but yeah, I'm still elbow deep in this mess.

0.5.5 Devlog - Crunch Update

Hey all, just dropping by to let you know where i'm at. 

I've got the exam up and running - this is a whole little "mini game" and I'm super proud of how it's looking! It was a lot of work but hopefully it'll be worth it when you hit that part of the game! 

I've added condoms to the bodega because ... you'll see ;-)

I'm almost done with Jennifer's Chapter Five event but boy this has been tough. So much finickity inventory wrangling and function calls, but ...

Happy Valentine's Day x

What? You didn't think I'd forget did you?! Here's a little something from Peitho and myself, to say thank you so much for all your support. 

I hope you enjoy x

0.5.5 Devlog - it's CRUNCH time

Don't worry! I know I have an annoying habit of going a little silent, but trust me, I'm still working on the game as much as I can in the gaps around my job - and I've blocked out the whole of the upcoming weekend too to do nothing else other than get the rest of 0.5.5 finished! 

I'm seeing this as  "crunch time", and I'll be sharing what I have which will hopefully a complete working build of everything up to, (but not including) the Girl Games competition itself, aka 'Chapt...

Art Update

Peitho here-

I was able to finish the character bundle for Heather over the weekend and I'm really happy with how she's coming along. I know she's a player favorite so I wanted to do her proper justice. I can't wait to see her in game!

Up next I'll be working on Jennifer's bundle as well as a few off-scenes, so stay tuned!

I also have a lot of behind-the-scenes sketches and process videos, so I'll be working on posting more of those as well.

Thanks for having me!

0.5.5 Devlog - Update

Just thought I'd drop again with another little update for you. End of the month is looking more like an accountability build rather than the full, finished thing - but no matter what I'll be sharing something with you all just so you can see where I'm up to before the month is out. 

I've been working on the Jennifer chapter - which has a couple different branching paths, one of which leads you to the shady alley, the other potentially gives you an option to remov...

0.5.5 Devlog - Things are getting SHADY

If you've played the game, then I'm sure you're aware of the shady alley and it's unfufilled promises. I'm sure you've all guessed where this is leading - it's going to be a place where you can offer "services" at night to random guys who emerge from the shadows. Maybe one of them might be interested in you in boy mode, but the majority will be wanting you looking femme before they're willing to part with their hard-earned cash ...

And that's exactly what I'm working o...
